The Ascent
RISE Group Coaching
Group coaching for Black women leaders who are never fully off and are done paying for success with their lives.
A season that moves you from over-functioning to capacity, boundaries, and deeper self-trust
Ascend with RISE, a guided season of healing-centered coaching with a group of well-rounded peers. You will build a Personal Freedom Plan and a higher rhythm that protects your capacity, boundaries, relationships, joy, and voice.
In this season, you will:
- Stop overextending without guilt
- Set boundaries that hold in real life
- Lead from a life that supports you
- Rebuild your relationship to rest, joy, and self-trust
- Make decisions from Higher Ground, not survival
By the end of the program, you'll have:
Your Higher Rhythm
Boundaries, capacity, and standards, and sustanable rhythm you live by.
Personal Freedom Plan
a practical plan and trackable steps that protects your capacity and turns freedom into weekly choices.
Practices That Hold
Well-being habits that keep you human
Program Snapshot
Format: Live group coaching in a private space > Cadence: Weekly with off weeks built in > Duration: 3 months > Cohorts: Winter and Fall
Access included: The Ground community app during your cohort
Support: Community discussion, in-app support, guided practices, and implementation
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
- You are a high-achieving Black woman leader who is never fully off and knows something has to change
- You are tired of carrying responsibility without a place to exhale, reflect, and recalibrate
- You want to stop overextending without disappearing or downshifting your impact
- You are looking for structure, standards, and tools — not motivation or hype
- You are willing to be coached, practice between sessions, and apply what you learn in real life
- You value community but do not want to explain or perform inside it
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
- You are seeking therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment (we are happy to refer you)
- You are in acute crisis or need emergency mental health support
- You want insight without implementation or results without practice
- You are uncomfortable in a Black-women-centered space
- You are not open to accountability, structure, or being challenged with care, accountability or follow-through
This program is designed for women who are ready to engage intentionally — not passively.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
Your Personal Freedom Plan, a practical plan that protects your capacity and turns freedom into weekly choices.
Inside that plan, you will define:
- Your Higher Rhythm, a weekly way of living that your life can sustain
- Capacity and boundary standards you can uphold at work and at home
- Relationship and joy commitments that are realistic, not performative
- A repeatable set of practices you can return to when life gets loud
- A 30, 60, 90 focus plan so momentum does not disappear after the cohort

Ascent Outcomes
The Ascent is designed to help you move from constant overextension into a more sustainable, self-directed way of living and leading.
By the end of the program, participants typically experience:
- Greater clarity around personal standards for work, relationships, and availability
- Stronger boundaries that are practiced, not just understood
- Reduced burnout patterns through intentional rhythm and capacity protection
- Increased confidence making decisions without urgency, guilt, or over-explanation
- A clearer sense of self beyond role, title, or responsibility
- Practical tools and practices that translate into daily life
Participants leave with a Personal Freedom Plan that helps them carry the work forward beyond the program — not as a checklist, but as a living framework they can return to.
This is not about doing more. It’s about leading from a life that holds.
Your questions answered
Common questions
Is this therapy?
No.
Therapy is a clinical service focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. It is provided by licensed clinicians and often centers clinical treatment and symptom management.
Mind Your Higher Ground offers healing-centered coaching.
Healing-centered coaching supports restoration, capacity, and sustainability in daily life. Our work integrates reflection, narrative awareness, somatic practices, and practical tools to help Black women live and lead with greater alignment.
We do not diagnose, treat, or provide clinical mental health care. Many participants are also in therapy and find healing-centered coaching valuable for applying insights, building tools, and supporting real-life integration.
In short, therapy treats clinical mental health conditions. Healing-centered coaching supports integration, resilience, and lived practice.
What if I’m in a crisis?
We are not crisis care. If you need immediate support, we will help you get connected to the right resources.
Can my job pay for this?
Yes, in many cases coaching through Mind Your Higher Ground can be covered using professional development, leadership development, executive coaching, or wellness budgets.
Our coaching is positioned as leadership sustainability and performance support. It focuses on decision-making clarity, capacity management, burnout prevention, emotional regulation, and practical leadership tools that support long-term effectiveness and retention.
Reimbursement policies vary by organization, so participants are responsible for confirming eligibility with their employer. We can provide receipts, program descriptions, and documentation upon request to support internal approval.
How many clients do you take?
Each Ascent cohort takes a limited number of women to protect quality, confidentiality, and outcomes.
Heal together. RISE together.
